For anyone with experience coding card games...

How large does your game turn out? I'm making a card game right now and I note that about half of the size = .bmp images (Which are the large images I plan to display via proc later) Is there a way to cut down on the variables? Is there a way to cut down on the procedures? What are some good techniques for compressing the source size?

Don't use .bmp files. Full stop. Use .png.

What Garthor said. In addition, if you are using any audio files, I recommend using OGG (think of it like a more compact MP3 file).

My pokemon card game rsc file is ~2 MB (that's due to the enormous amount of pictures I have collected + a few that did not have the card size modified to ~ 32x32)
